22. A positve test is not a big deal to the vaccinated in decent health..

Jul 2021

By all means those with very serious health conditions should stay masked, as they should even without Covid during flu season. Those who die of the flu are almost always in poor health to begin with.

But the anti-vaxxers are using stuff like this to tell people not to get the vaccine, the opposite of what we want. I heard a guy at the tennis courts yesterday telling his friends "you get Covid even if you get the shot so why bother".

Fact is for almost all vaccinated people, a positive Covid test will not lead to any serious issues.
